Teeth Cleaning

Roughly 70-80 percent of dogs develop periodontal disease by the age of three. Poor oral hygiene in dogs is associated with a number of health risks. The main risk is that dogs will develop periodontal disease , which causes the gums to become extremely unhealthy. Unhealthy gums can result in loose or sore teeth, and difficulty eating. Further, consistent poor oral hygiene in dogs that results in periodontal disease can affect the major organs of the body and shorten your dogs life by 3 to 5 years.
